FURMAN: My grandfather, Roy FURMAN was born in Rushville, Sheridan Cty,
NE in 1888. His parents were Elmer and Myrtle COLE FURMAN. His brother, Lloyd was
born there in 1891 and sister Leta in 1893. Elmer and Myrtle were divorced after Leta's
birth and left NB. Elmer was the son of Mary Pearl SCHOONOVER FURMAN who also lived
in Rushville until her death in 1914 as did another of her sons, James Lamorington
FURMAN
and his wife Helen WICKS FURMAN. I have been in contact with FURMAN cousins
still in the area and am always interested in locating more of the family. Gretchen Kohl

I am searching for records on the KNAG family. They owned or leased a farm northeast of
Gordon Nebraska in the 1910,s or 20,s. They left for Ohio around 1933. The best I can do
for names and dates follows; Jess Peterson Knag and Etta Mae (Elliott) Knag Children:
Bernice, Jim or James, Leon, Ernest Lyle (born 24 June 1921) and 2 or 3 other children who
died in infancy or early childhood. Thank you for your effort in this matter.

I am hoping for any information on the surnames of LOUDEN and MARSHALL. The October 14,

area during the depression. Thank you. 10715 W. Berry Drive, Littleton, CO 80127.
